Smart Truck Routing
research product ops
I am Jas, a Founder-in-Residence at Platform, working on a new startup to disrupt trucking.
I need introductions within the trucking & freight industry including but not limited to - drivers, logistics, carriers, shippers, manufacturers, brokers & equipment providers π
UX leader, strategist, designer/researcher @ in-between jobs (aka non-compete clause)
I interviewed such lovely folks a year ago on a client prototype. I used userinterviews.com to find professional drivers, fleet managers, etc with their search criteria. The catch was they charge $90 per individual, but they do support you through posers/scams to filter out and automate the hassle of scheduling zoom calls and incentive payment to the individual (on top of their charge).
Head of Platform @ Duro Venture Capital
kinda hacky but you could post a job on CitizenShipper and talk to the people who respond.
Owner @ Dada Design & Build
Hi Jas, I had a trucking company with a fleet of 30 trucks in the past (2015-2019); its purpose was not to transport consumer goods but instead construction raw materials. if I can help out, lmk!
